Accidentally...Over?: Accidentally Yours 5 (45 page)
Thinking on it now, I realize that the books I’ve read have, in some shape or form, made me into the author
I am today. So perhaps, instead of the old adage “You are what you eat,” it really ought to be: “You are what you read.”
From the desk of Laura Drake
Dear Reader,
Hard to believe that SWEET ON YOU is the third book in my Sweet on a Cowboy series set in the world of professional bull riding. The first two,
The Sweet Spot
and
Nothing Sweeter
, involved the life and loves of stock contractors—the ranchers who supply bucking bulls to the circuit. But I couldn’t go without writing the story of a bull rider, one of the crazy men who pit themselves against an animal many times stronger and with a much worse attitude.
To introduce you to Katya Smith, the heroine of SWEET ON YOU, I thought I’d share with you her list of life lessons:
- Remember what your Gypsy grandmother said: Gifts sometimes come in strange wrappings.
- The good-looking ones aren’t
always
assholes. - Cowboys aren’t the only ones who need a massage. Sometimes bulls do, too.
- Don’t ever forget: You’re a soldier. And no one messes with the U.S. military.
- A goat rodeo has nothing to do with men riding goats.
- “Courage is being scared to death—and saddling up anyway.”—John Wayne
- Cowgirl hats fit more than just cowgirls.
- The decision of living in the present or going back to the past is easy once you decide which one you’re willing to die for.
I hope you enjoy Katya and Cam’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it. And watch for the cameos by JB Denny and Bree and Max Jameson from the first two books!
From the desk of Anna Campbell
Dear Reader,
I love books about Mr. Cool, Calm, and Collected finding himself all at sea once he falls in love. Which means I’ve been champing at the bit to write Camden Rothermere’s story in WHAT A DUKE DARES.
The Duke of Sedgemoor is a man who is always in control. He never lets messy emotion get in the way of a rational decision. He’s the voice of wisdom. He’s the one
who sorts things out. He’s the one with his finger on the pulse.
And that’s just the way he likes it.
Sadly for Cam, once his own pulse starts racing under wayward Penelope Thorne’s influence, all traces of composure and detachment evaporate under a blast of sensual heat. Which
isn’t
just the way he likes it!
Pen Thorne was such fun to write, too. She’s loved Cam since she was a girl, but she’s smart enough to know it’s hopeless. So what happens when scandal forces them to marry? It’s the classic immovable object and irresistible force scenario. Pen is such a vibrant, passionate, headstrong presence that Cam hasn’t got a chance. Although he puts up a pretty good fight!
Another part of WHAT A DUKE DARES that I really enjoyed writing was the secondary romance involving Pen’s rakish brother Harry and innocent Sophie Fair-brother. There’s a real touch of Romeo and Juliet about this couple. I hadn’t written two love stories in one book before and the contrasting trajectories throw each relationship into high relief. As a reader, I always like to get two romances for the price of one.
If you’d like to know more about WHAT A DUKE DARES and the other books in the Sons of Sin series—

Happy reading—and may all your dukes be daring!
